Horizon wakens
Sharing light’s glory
Nightly dreams shaken
Each treasured story
Inviting sunrise
Morning’s welcome sign
Colorful landscape
Postcard scene divine
Sky fully brightens
Sharing deep blue sky
Spirit enlightens
Few clouds flying high
Praising this new hour
Cherished and precious
Hope coming this way
Peace refreshing us
Dawn’s early brew
Stirring sweet backbeat
Morning’s harmony
Never obsolete

Raging storms now surround
Trusting Him in hard times
Always, God by my side
With each step, hope shall climb
Anchoring in His peace
Nurturing faith through grace
Always, God by my side
Love flows from heaven’s place
Rising every morning
Spending time in prayer
Always, God by my side
Comfort found in His care
Silencing each tempest
Shining countenance beams
Always, God by my side
Journey heading downstream
Leading with righteous truth
Hearing mercy’s voice
Always, God by my side
Faith accepts blessed choice
Escaping from bondage
Following perfect light
Always, God by my side
Sheltered at His campsite
From Psalm 28:7: “The Lord is my strength and my shield; in Him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to Him.”

Facing each mountain
Pausing, take time to refresh—
Energized to climb
Daily feast waiting
Feeding every cheerful heart—
Laughter’s nutrition
Warmed with lasting joy
Cold feelings evaporate—
Welcoming sunrise
